Want to burn fat and build muscle fast? Tone up from top to toe with this total-body workout that you can do pretty much anywhere!
In an ideal world you’d hit the gym every day, get in a solid 45-minute session and still have time to foam roll at leisure, hang out in the sauna and do your hair. The reality? You’re a busy woman, juggling meetings, coffee dates, lift clubs and you don’t even have time to wash your hair, let alone hang out in the gym. Sound familiar? Then you’re exactly the kind of woman that Women’s Health Next Fitness Star finalist Inge Viljoen loves to train — home workouts are her speciality and she knows how to get you in shape using minimal equipment.
This workout uses just your own bodyweight and a step or bench. If you’re just starting out, use a low step, like the first step of your staircase or any other step you’d have at your house. As you get fitter and stronger, you can progress to a higher step and ultimately a box or bench.
